Epson Surecolor P 600 A3+ Printer
TSJ1927:
NOW you realize that Epson is also in the ink business.

Yes, I have always known that. However, this latest aspect is just not acceptable. Trying Epson again today I got a more sympathetic person. I understand that this has been a known problem with the 3000 printer which was fixed by a firmware update. She is trying to find one for the P600. Otherwise they will have to collect the printer and refund my money. I also expect some compensation for the wasted ink.

Sad to say, but this thread is highly appropriate to my new P600 printer (one week old) experience as well. After two hours on the phone with Epson technical support, Epson is kindly sending me a new P600 printer, but after rereading this thread and comparing it to my own current experience with my new P600 unit, and also just reading a PC Magazine Review complaining about "auto cleaning cycles" on the P600, I regret to say, I truly doubt there's anything "defective" about my first P600 printer. More likely it's the natural Epson design specification of the beast. I may very well be wasting my time taking delivery of a replacement unit, boxing up and shipping back the old one, and setting up the new one. I've posted some comments about the issue here:

The PC magazine review is here:

There's a lot to like about this new P600 printer and HD ink technology, but if Epson doesn't get a handle on this wasted "auto clean" ink scenario real soon, I suspect the consumer/prosumer market will deliver an unkind verdict to Epson in the not too distant future.
kind regards,
Mark

But how much ink was used to charge the ink lines when the printer was first set up?
